Kutcher/CNN Twitter Fight

Quote:

A couple days ago, actor Ashton Kutcher stated his goal to beat CNN to be the first Twitter user with a million followers. He promised to punk CNN founder Ted Turner if the Internet made it happen. Yesterday, CNN anchor Larry King fired back at Kutcher saying that one man couldn't take down a whole network.

Kutcher was still trailing CNN by tens of thousands of followers, so he upped the ante by offering his one millionth follower the popular game Guitar Hero. A pretty weak offering for a movie star. He later came back with an offer to buy 10,000 bed nets to help fight malaria in third world countries. Nice. And now, game maker Electronic Arts has now stepped into the fight with a big offer as well.

EA tweeted out earlier today that if Kutcher beats CNN to a million, it will put Kutcher's 1 millionth follower in a future EA game. The Twitter community is bound to eat this up.

And if Kutcher has any shot, they need to. As of today, he's still over 40,000 followers behind the cable network. And, while a lot of people aren't mentioning it, he's still actually behind Britney Spears, who just crossed the 900,000 follower mark. But Kutcher is growing faster. In just the past hour or so he's added a couple thousand followers, and when word of this EA deal gets out, that should jump.

That's fricken awesome I would so be down to sign up just for that lol

Whats so good about Twitter?

so wouldn't people try to hold off being a "follower" until its closer to the million so they have a better chance of being on the EA game? lol

I wondering about that too.. hm.
In a sense i guess it does make ppl feel "closer" to certain idols/celebrities. But then again, i find that's sorta stalkerish.. =/

Pranking Ted Turner would be epic in all possibly ways.

It would be like pranking Warren Buffett
